RoboScience
Hackathon 2024

Registration: until November 10, 2024.
Technological focus of the hackathon: Participants must build a robot and write a program to perform a specific task. The robot should be capable of autonomously navigating its environment, analyzing surroundings, determining the position of objects, and taking necessary actions.
Target audience: : school students and university students. Team participation.

Team-based solutions for project tasks in programming and robotics.
Goal: To find the optimal solution for this case.

The "confrontation" competition in the style of sumo is an exciting and engaging challenge for teams. In this format, two teams present their robots, which must demonstrate strength, agility, and strategy to push the opponent off the arena.

Basic Rules:

1. Weight Categories:
  - Lightweight: up to 1 kg.
  - Heavyweight: 1 kg and above.

2. Objective of the Match:
  - To push the opponent out of the arena.
  - The arena should be clearly marked so that participants can see the boundaries.

3. Strategy:
  - Teams need to plan tactics: how to attack, defend, and maneuver on the arena.
  - It’s important to consider the robot's physical characteristics, such as speed, strength, and stability.

4. Judging:
  - Observers or judges will monitor compliance with the rules and determine the winner in case of disputes.

This competition format develops skills in programming, mechanics, and teamwork, while also creating an interesting atmosphere for spectators.

RULES >

Robo-Sprint is a competition for humanoid robots - running short distances.

The goal is to pass a series of segments from the starting line to the finish line as quickly as possible.

RULES >

Similar to a marathon race for humans, the HuroCup marathon is aimed at testing the strength and endurance of humanoid robots.

The task is for the robot to follow the intermittent visible line as quickly as possible.

The goal is to reduce dependence on the visible track and eventually replace it with motion marker strips.

RULES >

The task is for the robot to reach the finish line while holding a lifting bar above its head.

The goal of weightlifting competitions is to develop robots that can lift and balance heavy loads, as well as walk under a heavy load and compensate for various centers of gravity.

RULES >

The robot must make three jumps and land on its feet without touching the ground with any other parts.

The goal of the Triple Jump competition is to conduct an event that requires the development of high-performance robots with sufficient flexibility to land without damage.

RULES >

The robot must throw the ball at a colored target.

The goal of the basketball competition is to encourage research on humanoid robots capable of skillfully manipulating small objects.

RULES >

The AndroSot Challenge games are aimed at promoting offensive and defensive skills in androids, and consist of several tasks such as dribbling, obstacle avoidance, shooting, trajectory detection, goalkeeper play, role positioning, and positioning control.

RULES >

Teams must develop a fully autonomous electric vehicle that can navigate specified tracks.

The competition consists of two stages: a preliminary stage and a final stage. Based on the points earned in the preliminary stage, some teams will advance to the final stage. The points accumulated in the preliminary stage will be nullified upon advancing to the final stage, and the qualifying teams will enter the final with zero points.

The participating vehicle starts from the starting line and must pass through checkpoints until reaching the end of the track. The more checkpoints that are completed in a shorter amount of time, the more points will be earned.

Anthropomorphic Robot Football. The game is played according to adapted rules for football. Two teams participate, each consisting of at least two robots. The objective is to score a goal against the opposing team.

RULES >

Wheel Robot Football. The game consists of two halves. Each half lasts 10 minutes. The break between halves is 5 minutes. The game timer runs continuously throughout the half, except when the referee needs to consult. The game timer is started by the referee or the assistant referees.

RULES >

The autonomous robot must follow a black line, overcoming various challenges on a modular arena made up of tiles with different patterns. The floor is white, and the tiles are at different levels, connected by ramps.

RULES >

The Junior Humanoid Soccer Entry games are held between two teams, each consisting of one robot, competing against each other in soccer. The robots are not autonomous and are controlled by team members via a wireless interface.

The game consists of two halves, each lasting 5 minutes. The objective is to score a goal against the opposing team.

To succeed, participants must demonstrate skills in programming, robotics, electronics, and mechatronics. To foster the RoboCup community, teams are required to share their developments with other participants and exhibit good sportsmanship, regardless of culture, age, or competition results.

Football played with first-person view (FPV) wheel robots. The game resembles regular robot football but with one change: players see the field only through goggles that display video from a camera mounted on the robot. The game is played "from the first person" - FPV. There are no age restrictions.

FPV football is an exciting discipline based on controlling robots in a 3-on-3 format. In this game, teams consist of three robots and one "navigator," who does not control the robots but has the ability to see the entire field, allowing them to strategically direct the team's actions. The other three operators control their robots using FPV goggles that stream video from a camera mounted on each robot. This creates a unique experience that combines elements of teamwork and tactics, as the navigator can provide instructions and help coordinate the robots' actions on the field. This format requires a high degree of interaction and quick reactions from participants, making FPV football thrilling for both players and spectators.

Robots follow a black line drawn on a white field. The line may contain sharp bends, corners, and self-intersections. The robot that completes the course in the shortest time wins.

RULES >

Robots, remotely controlled by operators, play football according to rules similar to regular football. Teams consist of 4 robots, and operators must be no older than 14 years old on the day of the competition.

Robots operated by young operators can be an excellent way to develop technical skills and teamwork. Rules similar to regular football add an element of strategy and competition.

In COFEROS CAIROBOTICS, teams must develop and program appropriate strategies for both real and virtual autonomous robots to navigate through real and virtual worlds to collect objects, while competing against a robot from another team that is also searching for and collecting objects in the same real and virtual environments. CAIROBOTICS is the only official platform. This simulator allows teams to develop programs using a graphical programming interface.

RULES >

The Earth is too dangerous for humans to reach the victims. Your team faces a challenging task. The robot must be capable of performing a rescue operation in fully autonomous mode without human assistance. It should be sturdy and intelligent enough to navigate hazardous terrain with hills, uneven surfaces, and gravel without getting stuck. The robot must search for victims, place rescue kits nearby, and signal the location of the victims so that humans can assist in the rescue. Time and technical skills are crucial! Get ready to become the most successful rescue team.
